Just a Quick One

We have both shirked our Soph photo blog duties as of late. So here's a quick snap for family near and far.
She's really turning into a little lady! She basically saunters around the apartment now as if it 'aint no thang.
She points to the window when she hears dogs barking outside and says "A Da." She still says "Oh wow" when something impressive warrents it. Oh! The other day at Grand Street playground she just scooched right up the kiddy slide backwards and pushed herself down, screaming with joy the whole way. Then she hopped off, WALKED to the steps back up the jungle gym to do it all over again. She is brave and silly and ridiculous. **Also, lately she also has been sleeping 8:30 to 8:00am STRAIGHT. Now I jinxed it of course, but I mean, that is the dream. I remember when four hours in a row was a banner day here at the McInneses.

Lovely Day

We went into the city to Thomkins Square Park to hear some bands play. Amy (Lyla's momma) bought these protective headphones for Soph before we went to McCarren Park Pool Party concerts this summer. She had the inside scoop 'cuz Lyla's daddy Syd is a Rock and Roller. I think I forget to send a thank you note I just realized! Belated thanks for such a thoughtful and useful gift guys!
Scrunchers was mad tired here. She still takes two naps a day (she's taking her morning one now, ergo blogging) and this was two hours past. She gets so lazy she flops in my arms. It's kind of worth it to wear her out so I can ALMOST cuddle her. She isn't yet at the stage where she shows us affection really. I once tied a scarf on my head because she would try and rip it off and it felt like a hug as her arms wrapped around my neck. Wow. That sounds really pathetic on my part. Anyhoo, hugs and smooches are on the horizon. I think Gavin is going to combust. Stay tuned...

This is a Joey

Sometimes we call Soph a JOEY when she wears a baseball cap. This is a Mets cap I bought for her friend Feyd's 1st B-day.
A few of her pals are turning the big Oh-1 this year, so her calendar has been very packed. Typical New Yorker. That was one of my pet peeves when I was "in the mix." especially working in PR. When you would see people out at "events" and ask how they were it was eye-roll, whine; "I've been soooo busy." over and over. I mean, its true I'm sure, but stop saying it like you have been curing hemmoroids. You've been going to parties for free booze and shopping every weekend!
I digress....here is Soph in all her JOEY glory. She also had a b-day, recently and if I was a decent god-fearing blogger I would have a lovely entry concerning that, but I am terrible and haven't been feeling an attack of the sillies in a few weeks, and thats really when I do my best blogging. So this one's for you, Kyle in Korea. Hey-Is it true that mourners there wear white and not black? How weird!
